1. Let
Shortest piece = x
Longest piece = y
Third piece = z

2.
Shortest piece = x
Longest piece = 40 + x
Third piece = (40 + x)/2 OR 20 + 0.5x

3. Add all the expressions since you know that the total of all the pieces is 120 inches
40 + x + 20 + 0.5x + x = 120.

4. Add the whole numbers first, then add the variables.
40+20=60
x+0.5=2.5x
60+2.5x=120

5. To get rid of the 60, do the opposite of addition which is subtraction and subtract 60 from both sides.
2.5x=120-60
2.5x=60

6. Do the same but rather than addition, do the opposite of multiplying which is dividing, on both sides.
x=60/2.5
x=24

7.
Shortest piece = 64-40=24 inches
Longest piece = 24+40=64
Third piece = 64/2=32

Somebody help me please because i’m stuck

The question is asking for you to plug in each number in the brackets into x and solve for y, or f(x), g(x), etc. I will do no. 19 as an example:

f(x) = -3x + 1

This problem has the domains -2, -1, and 0. First, we'll start with -2:

f(x) = -3(-2) + 1

f(x) = 6 + 1

f(x) = 7

Now -1:

f(x) = -3(-1) + 1

f(x) = 3 + 1

f(x) = 4

Lastly, 0:

f(x) = -3(0) + 1

f(x) = 0 + 1

f(x) = 1

For question 23, we can use the distance formula, which is ratextime. The domain in this case is time (t). You can set up a function like this: d(t) = 60t

ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AC =BC.
aev [14]

Given:

ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AC =BC.

D and E are points on BC and AC such that CE=CD.

To prove:

Triangle ACD and BCE are congruent​.

Solution:

In triangle ACD and BCE,

AC=BC                  (Given)

AC\cong BC

\angle C\cong m\angle C                  (Common angle)

CD=CE                  (Given)

CD\cong CE

In triangles ACD and BCE two corresponding sides and one included angle are congruent. So, the triangles are congruent by SAS congruence postulate.

\Delta ACD\cong \Delta BCE           (SAS congruence postulate)

Hence proved.
